Algeria’s Ministry of National Education Replaces French with English on Its Official Facebook Page
✍️ BY: Dr. Hana Saada
Algiers, Algeria | Algeria’s Ministry of National Education has officially replaced French with English on its Facebook page, registering its account name in English alongside Arabic. This shift, far from being a mere technical update, carries profound cultural, political, and pedagogical implications, resonating with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s broader vision to promote English as a global lingua franca.
President Tebboune has consistently underlined that the spread of English in Algeria is not merely an educational reform but a national project of modernization and international integration. His statements have repeatedly emphasized that English is the “language of science, technology, and international communication,” making its mastery indispensable for Algeria’s youth and their future. In line with this strategy, the government has introduced English at earlier levels of education, encouraged universities to adopt English as a medium of instruction in key scientific fields, and signaled the gradual reduction of French in the administrative and institutional sphere.
The Ministry’s decision to elevate English on its official digital platforms reflects this broader state policy. It represents not only a shift in Algeria’s online communication but also a clear message of intent: Algeria is charting its own linguistic course, unshackling itself from post-colonial dependency, and aligning itself with the languages of global influence.
